Thomas J. Anderson has been an Iowa and Nebraska attorney since 1980. His areas of practice include real estate, probate and business law. With lots of trial experience, public speaking for Mr. Anderson is common, and he will present a topic that affects families everywhere. Now sixty-two years old, the sixth of nine siblings, and grandfather of six youngsters, in 2013 Mr. Anderson was met with the challenge of his lifetime, cancer. He never missed work and did well through the process. Without a miracle cure, but with inspiration and guiding principles, he will share how Hodgkin’s lymphoma was beaten. The more we know about how to survive, the more we can help our loved ones know what to expect and the more we can understand what they are going through
Drs. Katherine Johnson, Michael Feilmeier and Jessica Feilmeier established the Gift of Sight Foundation with the singular goal of restoring sight to patients living needlessly in darkness. Presently, there are over 39 Million people in the world who are blind and over 50% of them can be cured with a procedure that has a consumable cost of $25 and takes 5 minutes to perform. With vision restored these individuals can once again look into the eyes of a loved one, walk unassisted across a street, return to work and find their way back to being apart of a family and community that no longer sees them as a burden.
Laura is married to Jay. They are parents to Ellie, a senior at UNL, and Grant a graduating high school senior currently playing hockey for the Omaha Lancers.
Laura spent her early career here in Omaha as an elementary teacher and guidance counselor in both Omaha and Millard Public Schools, before becoming a children’s ministry director.
After her family's move to Minnesota she continued working as a teacher and children’s ministry director. An opportunity to work with volunteers and helping assimilate newcomers came along at Plymouth Covenant. She currently works full time in Ministry Engagement.
As a full-time employee, she has the benefit of participating on mission trips to the global mission sites that partner with Plymouth Covenant. After many years of saying “no” to traveling to a country that is less developed, on the other side of the globe, and completely different than any culture she had been exposed to, she decided to join the Light of Hope team and travel to Kenya. Laura left a piece of her heart at Light of Hope home and school for girls. She looks forward to making many trips back and providing much support to Light of Hope!
